ALBERT WILHELM, OF PLEASANT HILL, TEXAS.

PLOW.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 338,325, dated March 23, 1886.

Application tiled January 14, 1886. Serial No. 188.588.

and exact description of the same, reference being had to the annexed drawings, making a part of this specification, and to the letters and figures of reference marked thereon.

Figure 1 of the drawings is an under side perspective View of a plow constructed in accordance with my invention, and Fig. 2 a detail view in section showing the manner of attachng the standard to the landsideplate of the plow.

The present invention has relation to certain new and useful improvements in plows; and it consists in the details of construction, substantially as shown in the drawings and hereinafter described and claimed.

In the accompanying drawings, A repre sents the plow-beam, provided with the usual handles, B; and ct, the braces attached to said handles and to the beam.

The mold-board C and point D, if preferred, may be made in separate pieces and fastened together by a brace, b, and bolts c, so as to enable the point to be replaced by a new one when worn sufficiently to become useless. The standard E is secured to the under side of the beam A by two bolts, the forward bolt acting as a pivot, and theinner or rear bolt, d, passing through a transverse elongated slot, e, and acts as a set-screw to hold the standard to its lateral adjustment, either to the right or left, as desired. This standard consists of a longitudinal flat bar, f, through which the bolts above mentioned pass, downwardly-extending arms g h, connected by brace i, the forward one of the arms having an angular seat, le, for the inner side of the plow. The lower extremities of the arms g h have ser- (No model.)

rations Z and vertically elongated slots m, through which pass bolts a, secured to the landside-plate E. Serrated washers p engage with the serrations Z, and through these washers extend the bolts a, a nut, r, engaging the screw-threaded end of each bolt to firmly hold the washers in place, thus enabling the landside-plate to be raised or lowered when de sired.

In black and waxy lands when used thereon the mold-board and point may be made in one piece; but for use on sandy soil it is preferable to form them separate. The point of the plow upon its inner side has a brace, s, and in addition to this a bolt, t, is used to secure the mold-board to the standard E, and as no bolts are used to fasten the point to the standard it is not as likely to become clogged, the seat k ofthe standard, in addition to the brace, holding the point firmly in position.

The construction of -the standard E renders it both strong, durable, and effective for the purpose.

l'n a plow, the combination, with the beam, mold-board, point, and landside-plate, of a standard consisting of a longitudinal bar, to which the beam is attached, and provided with a transverse elongated slot, two downwardlyextending arms connected together by a cross-brace and having serrations and elongated slots on their extremities, and bolts,V nuts, and serrated washers for adjustably con-' necting the landside-plate thereto, the forward one of Vsaid arms having a seat for the plowpoint, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

In testimony that IA claim the above I have hereunto subscribed my name in the presence of two witnesses. Y

ALBERT WILHELM.
